Community Tasting Note

HowardNZ Likes this wine:

Monday, November 20, 2017 - Long birthday lunch at Noble Rot (Noble Rot, Wellington, NZ): Served blind I did not initially pick this wine as a Chardonnay, let alone as a Chablis. It matched up well the Chave beside it. On the nose, lemons, blanched almonds, pears, pineapple juice and only a hint of chalky minerality. A rich, powerful and full palate. 'A lot of phenolics', said John. 'You can feel the heat and taste the lower acidity', agreed Andrew. Satiny texture. Appropriately oxidised. Not showing a lot of Chablis typicity but an enjoyable, quality Chardonnay nonetheless. Probably for drinking in the next few years, ideally.
